“Didn’t you want to say that the Ark of Eternal Night is in your heart?” Yue Guang didn’t believe it. With Xiao En’s comprehension, he would forget to search for himself and his inner self in more than a million searches. Maybe the mask is on you.”

They left the traveler undisturbed, and took a less-traveled street.

“Of course I thought about the possibility. I had suspected that the lady’s hint was a riddle: the mask, it might be on my face.

“This is a deep conjecture, isn’t it? – the mask is actually on my face all the time, but I can’t see it. I searched the world and finally found it right in front of my eyes…

“But, that’s not the case.”

Sean sighed: “I’ve tried many times on this guess. Anyway, it’s not on my face.

“If we talk about searching in the heart, I have tried the meditation that I have encountered in my dreams, but after trying, it only makes my mind calm…

“The point is, I never really made up my mind to go inward, no matter the time.

“The longing for the mask has always burned me, and kept me busy in the outside world, but this time…”

The ascetic’s demeanor in the noisiest place in the world flashed before his eyes, concentrating on the moment.

“I’m going to practice that kind of skill!” Sean seemed to recall something, “God, I’m so blind, as if I really can’t see! That road has always been there!”

Moonlight blinked: “Then, shall we still go to the beautiful ladies? And buy stocks or something…

“No! Moonlight, let’s not go this time!”

“This time” refers to…? Moonlight blinked, could it be “this life”?

Although Xiao En has found a new direction, he will still be a little disappointed when he suddenly wakes up from his luscious dreams. All Moonlight could do was swallow and say nothing.

“Don’t be discouraged, Moonlight!” Sean patted his friend on the back forcefully, “Even if I still can’t find my mask in the end, I can guarantee that this life will be good!”

“How not bad?” Moonlight couldn’t imagine, what kind of experience could be more “not bad” than spending a sailing holiday with the most beautiful lady and the most luxurious food and wine.

“You just come with me. There are some things that I can’t explain clearly.”

“Tell me first, where are we going next?”

“Shambhala, Moonlight.” He had already moved forward, “Let’s go to Shambhala.”

·

After a journey of fifteen days and a total of three flights, they came to the inaccessible plateau area. In a small bustling local town, Sean prepared supplies familiarly, formed a family yak team, hired two locals, and then headed for no-man’s land.

The two dark-skinned local guides felt strange about this foreigner—he seemed to be very familiar with everything on the plateau.

Unlike many outsiders, he not only understands the local geography, hydrology, customs, and customs, but also seems to have a clear direction in his heart, and he has been determined to move forward without any guidance. Hiring them seems to be just to have help on the journey…

After entering the tenth day of the journey, they finally came to a fork in the road and knew the direction this outsider was going to—the holy place in the hearts of the locals, Shambhala.

After confirming that the destination was indeed Shambhala, the two guides withdrew. They knew that civilians were not allowed to go there. So they asked to leave the team and return. Since the most dangerous part of the journey had passed, Sean graciously paid them back supplies and moved on with Moonlight.

When parting, two locals repeatedly advised him not to go. According to legend, entering there rashly without the permission of an expert would shorten his lifespan or even kill him suddenly. But Sean just thanked the advice and sent them away.

After the two left, Xiao En, who was sitting on the back of the yak, looked at the moonlight—the latter was wearing a local leather jacket, looking a little funny. Sean said: “I’ve been there a number of times. It’s hard to find, but there’s no curse.

“People in Shambhala are very kind and welcome outsiders.”

After the dream of extravagance was shattered, Moonlight has always been a little disappointed. He rode a domestic yak with Xiao En on the plateau for more than ten days, and he couldn’t even see a blade of grass. He finally got a little impatient: “Seriously, Sean… let What is it there for? Your inner journey must be there to begin?”

Here, the clouds are very close to people, and it seems that they can touch the clear sky. Sean didn’t directly answer Moonlight’s question, and still maintained that kind of relaxation: “One time when I was out at sea, I encountered an extremely strong storm. At that time, there were seven people on board, and only two of them calmed down in the storm that was like a catastrophe. calm.

“One of them was me — I wasn’t scared because I’d been through that storm many times, and I knew we’d survive the waves and the wind and the storm.

“And the other one is a man in his forties. It is his first time encountering a storm of that level, but he is as calm as me.”

Sean turned to Moonlight, who sulked again at the sound of going out to sea, and turned his head to the side.

“He was very similar to the ascetic we saw on the street that day. That man came from Shambhala. He said that it was the most peaceful and prosperous place in the world, and it was a real utopia. So, in my dozens of lives I didn’t go out to sea for the time being, but went to Shambhala to find the mask…”

Sean’s eyes were soft, as if he remembered his hometown: “I met a lot of wise men there—the real wise men. They watched me search for something in Shambhala, but they didn’t say a word…

“I tried to meditate with them, but then I was not the same as I am now. Although I sat next to them, I didn’t really set foot on that path at all…”

“So this time, you plan to learn from them?”

“Yes, in Shambhala, it will take a lifetime.” The cowbell swayed lightly, other than that, there was only the sound of the wind.

Moonlight was a little unbelievable: “You want to join their faith?”

“No, Moonlight…” Sean smiled, “I don’t plan to join anything, I just plan to take the last path.

“Though a million tries, it wasn’t in vain—only when I really traveled to every corner of the world and decided to let go of the idea of ​​looking, I could really see clearly.

“I’ve been through so much, I’ve definitely met those people many times, not just in storms and noisy streets. But I always turn a blind eye.

“Only this time, I finally see clearly—the path of pursuit has not come to an end, and I will not get these eyes.”

Moonlight couldn’t help being somewhat sarcasm: “You’ve already spoken like a wise man before you arrived in Shambhala.

“It’s a pity that I don’t have the awareness you have. Compared to sitting quietly, I’d rather drink on the sea and watch the sunset with a beautiful lady!”

Sean smiled, and there was a hint of mystery in his smile: “Maybe, there is still a chance in the future?

“Isn’t it easy to arrange that kind of life just by following the omniscient Sean Dickinson?”

Moonlight heard a little hope, and suddenly got a little bit more energy. But he was afraid of being played by Xiao En, so he suppressed that expectation and smiled perfunctorily.

After another five days of walking in the wasteland, half of the supplies I brought were consumed. After passing through a canyon, the temperature gradually warmed up, and the originally desolate scenery gradually turned green…

A jungle appeared in this barren place, and they entered it. Through the shade of the big trees, I finally found the secret city that blooms in the depths of the plateau – Shambhala.

She is located in a basin. In the cold and chilling plateau area, the four seasons here are like spring, and the water flows continuously. From a distance, it looks like a plump lotus blooming in the valley…

The people who live here build their houses with stone and wood. They dressed plainly, walked in a leisurely manner, and looked calm and comfortable.

After seeing Shambhala that seemed to emit a faint light, the depression in Yueguang’s heart was swept away.

Here… He blinked, unable to sum up his inner feelings well, and walked in front of Sean unconsciously.

People passing by are smiling and nodding slightly towards unfamiliar faces. A warm wind is blowing, and there is a faint smell of grass in it. The gurgling sound of running water and the occasional melodious birdsong…

He looked back at Sean, blinked, and had some incredible feelings—here, it made a traveler feel like returning home.

“I told you…” Sean patted him on the shoulder, catching up with the moonlight that was feeling emotional, “It doesn’t have to be fine wine and sunset. There is a kind of beauty that is indescribable.”

As if returning to his hometown, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Sean took the family yak to a cowshed for foster care, and then found a water source, where the two planned to tidy up their appearance.

Downstream in the spring, Moonlight dipped a towel in the water and scrubbed his face and neck.

Just as he felt the coolness of the spring water with his skin, a cloud drifted past the corner of his eyes. He turned his head to look, and saw a woman in a gray sarong passing by.

She has wine-red hair, deep and bright eyes, and her arms and calves exposed outside the sarong are tight and shiny.

Women come to draw water from the spring. She was carrying a jug, walking swayingly, and when she turned around, she gave a faint smile to the moonlight.

Moonlight stopped scrubbing for a moment. Qianying had already left, but he was still looking at the gently shaking banana leaves.

After a while, Moonlight turned his head. Just a look from the other party made him immersed in great happiness: “Sean, I like this place!”

Sean, who was scrubbing with his heart, straightened up and looked at his obviously excited partner.

“I like it here, it’s great!” Moonlight opened her hands as if worrying that Sean didn’t understand. The drops of water flowed down the pale neck and over the collarbone, and he didn’t care about the cold penetration into the collar.

“Her name is Lianna. I can take you to find her.” Sean shrugged. He seemed to know something – of course, he must know something.

“Really? I have a story with her?”

Sean put a cold towel on his neck: “I really want to tell you? Don’t you think it’s better to keep a little bit of mystery?”

“Yes! Yes!” Moonlight was so happy that he lost his mind for a moment, “When we visit the wise man, we will go find her!”

Sean didn’t say anything, just looked at the excited partner lightly. At that time, Yueguang didn’t know what his expectation turned out to be.
